I took a little road trip with my friends Warren (skydog) and Paul (GL1-242). We met up at Warrens in Rapid City, SD and headed west. Through the BigHorn Mountains, Yellowstone, Lolo Pass, Bear Tooth Pass and some other forests and Passes on our way to Puyallup, WA to hang out with Warrens brother. I rode my 83 1100 in full geezer glide dress complete with fairing and trunk and pulling a trailer. Warren rode his 84 1200 with vetter bags and Paul rode a 75 of Warrens with soft saddle bags.

As I recall, this is somewhere in Wyoming the first day out.

Me, Warren, Paul

these are in Montana.Good pic of the geezer glide. I'm leaving the fairing on but the trunk will come off. It sure was handy for travel.

We covered a lot of territory. Not bad for 30-40 year old bikes. No major problems besides some foot pegs loosening up. We put the spurs to them going through some of the passes, too. Lot of fun. Don't be afraid to get out there on the old wing. And people just love to see them, too. Always folks coming up to us, telling us old wing stories or just admiring the old girls.
